HackBGRT v1.5.1: A Technical Overview

HackBGRT version 1.5.1 is an open-source UEFI application designed to replace the default Windows startup logo by modifying the Boot Graphics Resource Table (BGRT). As a legacy tool, it often requires Secure Boot to be disabled and involves modifying the EFI System Partition to inject custom BMP images. More details are available in the HackBGRT GitHub documentation HackBGRT - Windows boot logo changer for UEFI systems HackBGRT v1
